Pregnany, Birth And Bonding – A Lecture By Joseph Chilton Pearce

Joseph Chilton Pearce, author of seminal works like Magical Child and Crack in the Cosmic Egg, shares synthesized science from multiple fields to show how modern culture and its imperatives for conformism have altered and continue to alter the human brain and consciousness. Pearce’s forty years of research and publications show how the cultural sacrifice of human biological imperatives have stunted our true capacities.
